Melancholy Memory

Deep within my soul Melancholy feelings Grip my heart~touching all Inner parts Longing to be held To feel a mother's love Being swaddled, caressed No one there Security gone Safety ripped away Alone to face the world Weeping weeps Weepings unanswered Farther, brothers don't hear Grandmother's efforts small Weeping weeps Melancholy blues Sadness seems to rule days A child crys within now Mother's gone
Sponsor: Constance La France Contest: Melancholy Memory Written this 13th day of May, 2013 My mother died when I was 15 month's old..Deep within my being I still feel the loss..

So so sad to read about your loneliness, missing and disappointments in life leads to many lone days and nights. Be sure we are here for you, sharing is strength we can project through your un healthy moments. Love Terry xoxo
